Price is confident about the election. But if things don't work, he says, he looks forward to continuing his work with the Black Men's Forum--and grooving to the sounds of Top 40 music.

"Even if I don't win, the Quad formal's right there," he says. "I'll bounce back."

Vice-presidential hopeful Ethan G. Russell '98, has done little to no campaigning thus far but exudes little worry even as the campaigning season draws to a close. As his main campaign strategy, Russell is planning a study break compete with drinks--"beverages," as he calls them--to woo prospective supporters.

But this isn't a pork project that some political boss dreamed up. Russell truly believes the Undergraduate Council should lighten up a bit.

"The U.C. should not be a political organization," said Russell. "It disgusts me how much these people put into their campaigns [with things] like opposition research."

Not being a council member himself, Russell believes that present council members take themselves--and their resumes--way too seriously.

"If they would actually use the energy constructively, we could actually do something to benefit society [instead of] boosting our egos and padding our resumes," Russell said.

Therefore, Russell remains more focused on planning the "study break" than on campaign postering. He also enjoys tutoring at the Franklin Afterschool Program for Phillips Brooks House in his spare time.

And if Russell wins, expect one extremely happy hour.

Joseph A. Sena '99 has a running mate.

But Sena stresses he's his own man.

Sena, the co-chair of the council's Campus Life Committee, is seeking the vice-presidential position on a ticket with Eric M. Nelson '99, who chairs the council's Student Affairs Committee.

Sena has focused on throwing campus-wide social events, while Nelson has concentrated on improving relationships with administrators in University Hall.

Though Sena says he thinks his ticket will appeal to different voters, he welcomes everyone's support.

"If our ticket appeals to different people," Sena says, "I don't think there's anything wrong with that."

"I made the decision to run in the vice-presidential race before I made the decision to run on a ticket. There's room for lots of improvement in the vice-presidential position, whereas the president is looked upon as [merely] a liason to the administration," says Sena, who is a Crimson editor.
